dreds and depart by the score, so that the
accumrilation of men grows continually
larger at the two points named and for a
few miles along the trail. Quite a num
ber have crossed the Chilcoot Pass to Lake
Linderman, where they are experiencing
great difficulties in procuring boats. The
"White trail from Skaeuay can scarcely be
said to be open as yet. Few have crossed
it, and those who have succeeded do so at
the lisk of their lives. The miners, how
ever, are realizing that xbc only sensible
ih.ng to do is to turn in and make the
trail passable. In meeting they have de
cided to do this, but if the majprity shirs
their share of the work the efforts of the
few will not avail much. Ii Will soon be a
question of the miners returning or win
tering in the neighborhood of Dyea and
bkaguay.
In the meantime every north-bound
boat Jrom Alaska continues to carry tne
veniurjsome gold-hunters to the number
of 200 or 300 every few days. C. V. La
large, purser of the steamer Rosalie, in
formed a Call correspondent to-aay that
his steamer left Skaguav for Seattle
Wednesday evening last, bringing 800 let
ters down. The big steamer Willcme tte
had been unloading freieht for her 709
passengers for rive days and would so con
tinue two or three days longer. She
would thus not be lkely to reach Seattle
before to-morrow night or possib'y
Wednesday. On the way down they
passed steamers going north as follows:
Utopia, Edith, Isiander, George \V. Elder.
City of Kingston, Al-ki, Danuoe, Eliza
Anderson and Mayflower with a scow.
The pioneer reached Skaguay last Tues
day with two scows carrying 104 horses,
all o: which were in good condition. A
man by the name of Valentine, with
others of .Tuneau, is arranging to duiM a
wharf at Skaguay. The piledriver had ar
rived before the Rosalie departed and
j.:les were hourJy expected.
Mr. Lafarge states that an exciting in
cident occurred while he was at Skaguay,
which he recites as follows: "It seems
that a lawyer Green from Seattle had
missed his handcart for two or three days,
and being unable to locate it, he pre
sumed that it had been stolen, so he re
ported the matter to the vieilance commit
tee and insisted that punishment be meted
out to the offender if he could be caught.
The guardians of the peace and proparty
immediately bet to work ana soon located
the wagon. They then held a hasty meat
ine- and decided that the thief should be
strung up. They pot the rope and made
preparations for the hanging, l'he of
fender insisted that he had only borrowed
the wagon from his friend, but it didn't
go. A^ he was being led iorth Green dis
covered that it was his best friend and at
once set in to right the matter. He had
considerable difficulty in satisfying the
crowd, but finally succeeded in securing
ihe release of his friend. For a time ex
citement ran high, and it is believed that
the occurrence will have a salutary effect
on such crooks as itifest the camp."
Among the passenger* were Al Noyes,
who discovered Sheep Creek, and a cele
brated staeedriver named Creamer, from
California. It is their inteniion to pur
chase thirty or forty fine horses and con
duct a pack train over the pass from
Skaguay. They will return north as soon
as they can make the purchases.
M. J. Tanner of Oakland was soon satis
fied and returns to spend the winter in a
land where conveniences of life can be
procured. He left San Franc. sco on the
Noyo August 5, and after landing at Dyea
pushed on nine miles to Sheep Camp, at
the foot of Chilcoot summit. He there
gave up the effort to go funher and re
traced hi? footsteps. He says: "Unless
a man is particularly vigorous and stout
it is almost impossible for him to pet over
the pass without the aid of packers. The
Indians have now raised the prico to $35
yer hundred to Lake Linderman. Pce
sibly a thousand have progressed that
far, but most of them will stay awhile.
Boais cost from $75 to $150. It is difficult
to get timber to build them. A sawmill is
running, but it only cuts MX-inch boards,
and it is necessary to go quite a little dis
tance to get timber.
"One great obstacle that I have not read
much about is the Dyea River, which runs
six miles up the trail and must be crossed
five or six times from the time you are
landed on the recks. There is a 27-foot
tide. The ferry charge is $5 per ton for
freight and fifty cents for each man or
beast. The people art- accumulating in
great numbers at Skaguay, and horses and
niults are in great demand. Two bnrros
that cost me but a trifla I sold for $100
each."
Another discouraged prospector is D. E.
Faulks of North Prairie, near Tacoma.
He went up on the Al-Ki August 3, and
expected to pet some horses from Frank
Ciar.cv at Skaguay. He did not succeed,
and says he did not propose to undertake
the experience of the three or four thou
sand who are at Skaguay and tweive miles
along the trail, so he came back. The day
the Rosalie sailed he says fifty miners
started out to repair the trail to be fol
lowed by relays of fifty. If they continue
in the good work the trail will soon be in
a passable condition.
G. M. Haller of Tacoma went up on the
Rosalie July 30 on a business mission and
returned to-day. He says that there are
are 3000 or 4000 people at Skaguay, with a
continuation of tents for several miles.
Lumber is hard to get at $30 per 1000 feet,
hay and oats cost $50 per ton, horses be
inc as hiuh as $200. 'lwo colored women
have a restaurant and can't bake bread
fast enough to supply the demand at 25
cents a loaf. lie believes the miners are
in earnest about putting the trail in passn
b c condition. They have gone to work at
it and when completed this will be tha
easier way to pack goods in. Haller says
a number have got over from Dyea to
Lake Linderman and that it can be easily
accomplished if one has money to have
his packing done.
Frank Clancy, a well-known sporting
man of this city, returned on the steamer
from Skaguay, where ha had been for sev
eral weeks looking up business prospects.
He expects to return with horses and run
a pack train. He said: "When you
Know that miners are paying from 35 to
50 cents a pound for packing over the
summit you can form some idea of things
at Skaguay. Good packers are petting $8
a day. That is what John G. Scurry is
paying his men. Tn« tra:l is simply
awful. Very few of the thousands at
Skaguay will gel over this winter. George
Rice of this city started out with a pack
train tbe day before I left Skaguay and
had not returned when I •ett. Think of
that, will you? The country is a holy
terror on horses. Scores of them have
been killed and lots of them ruined. One
of Harry Struve's horses stepped in a
crack in the rocks and literally twisted its
leg off. Skaguay is a lively town and
people in business there will make a good
thing this winter. A good many of the
boys up there will come home after they
see how impossible it is for them to cross
the summit this winter."
William Zins of Kvansvilb, Ind., re
turned on tt:e Rosalie, although when he
left Seattle on tb.3 E'iza Anderson he ex
pected that by ibis time he would be in
the neighborhood of St. Michael. He
went with the boat 3s far as New Metla
kahtla and there concluded it would be
The topsail schooner La Ninfa for Copper River, the steamer Navarro with the stern-wheeler Thomas Dwyer in tow, the steam schooner Noyo and the gasoline
schooner Chetco for St. Michael all expect to get away this week. The Dwyer and Chetco both expect to reach Dawson before the river freezes and the fifty men who
are going up on the La Ninfa expect to be able to do some prospecting before the winter sets in.
fully as saio for him to return to his East
ern home r.nd spend the winter in the
bosom of his family and then go north in
the spring. This passenger with three
other young men from the State of In
diana bought tickets ana first-class pass
age at Chicago for Dawson City, and
thought they had secured thefr berths in
stateroom 5 and one in fi. These were lo
cated by means of a diagram of the boat,
which they presumed was one of the
usual sea-going ships. The four men paid
for transportation from Chicago tLie round
sum cf $100, and they went on the com
pany plan, their goods and supplies bein~
mixed. On reaching this city and board
ing the steamer they found the plans so
changed that their stateroom reservations
had bsen lost in the shufflj and they were
compelled to sleep wcere they could— on
the floor or fifes as best suited them.
When the mission station was reached
the passengers had become somewhat ec
quainied with tiie boat's allesed unsea
wortniness, and the only on* of this par
ticular party who had money wi;h him de
termined to return. Their other funds,
$SOO, were in exchange on Dawson City.
The prodigal says undoubtedly others
would give up the trip if they were not
"in the same boat."
Arriving here to-day Mr. Zins applied
at the office of the company sending
out the Eliza Ande.-son and other craft
and demanded the return of his money,
which was immediately turned over to him
on his intimation that he was prepared to
put up a fight if necessary. He took a
check for $251 50, less $50 for carfare to
Chicago, and departed to-night for the
East.
For several days there have been ru
mors floating around that the steamer
Mexico, which sunk in Dixons entrance
on August 5. had risen to the surface and
was floating. This is denied by the Rosi
lie people, who say they passed near where
the Mexico sank on their down trip and
saw nothinc of her.
INDIANS CALLED DOWN.
After Wldpnine the Trail Gold-
Seekers Compelled Packers to
Keep Their Contract.
VICTORIA, B. C ., Aug. 23.— J. Fleming
writes from Skaguay: "We passengers of
the steamer Capilano promised to help
the Indians w den the White Pass trail if
they would pack our baggage at 15 cents a
pound. We widened tho trail, when the
Indians refused to pack for less than 30
cents. We took our guns out and sur
rounded them, some of us being pretty
dtsperaie. Several were going to shoot,
when the Indians threw up their arms,
shouting that they would take it throueh
for nothing. We gave them $15 a hun
dred. All of us shot the rapids in the
canyon. It was a most terrible experi
ence with the coffin-boats built here.
There will be dozens drowned here and
never heard of again. 1 '
The steamer Queen, northbound to-day,
left fifteen passengers, thirty tons of
freight and four horses here for lack of
room.
The steamer Eugene has arrived at Port
Angeles from Portland. She is to be con
veyed to St. Michael by the Bristol and
will go up the Yukon with the Bristol's
freight and passengers. The Bristol is
expected down to-morrow.
F. M. Yorke goes to the Stickeen River
to-morrow on the bteamer Thistle with
machinery for a boat to be built on Teslin
Lake this winter for use on the Yukon.
This is tbe first step toward establishing
the 6tickeen-Teslin route. E.irly next
week Jennings, a Dominion Government
engineer, will go to the Suckeen on
the Government steamer Quad™. He
will survey a route for a railway between
Glencoe on the Stickeen and Teslin Lake.
A charter for a railway was granted by
:he provincial Legislature last winter and
a subsidy of 120 acies per mile. It is ex
pected that the Dominion Government
will supplement this with a cash subsidy.
TO SAIL NORTHWARD.
Promise of Another Busy Week In
the Transportation of Gold-
Hunters.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 23.— This orom
ises to be another busy week in the trans
portation of passengers and freight to
Alaska, with the Upper Yukon gold fields
as the ultimate destination. Several ves
sels will return from Dyea and Skasuay,
while the steamer Portland is looked for
any time after Thursday. She will come
from Sr. Micha<l, where returning Klon
dikers are transferred from Yukon River
boats. It is not generally believed here
that she will bring any great amount of
gold on this trip. The greatest returns
are expected on the next trip down of the
Portland, about the middle of October.
To-night a number of the cissengers left
on the City of Seattle lor Victoria, where
they will be transferred to-morrow to the
Bristol, which sails for Su Michael. Later

THOMAS O'SHAY'S LUCK.
A Former Boatswain of the Wolcott
Locates a Claim and Sells It
tor $40,000.
PORT TOWNBEND, Wash., Aug. 23.-
The United States cutter Richard Rush,
returning from the north Saturday night
on a special mission, brought a letter to
this city telling of the good fortune of
Thomas O'Sliay, for many years a resi
dent here. While employed as boat
swain in the revenue service O'Shay's en
-1 is im cn t aboard the United States steamer
Wo! cot t expired. While that vessel was
detached to the Customs Collector of
Alaska, from SitKa early last spring he
went into the Klondike diggings. He
succeeded id finding and locating a claim,
which, while not immensely rich, paid
him good wages for his work. It was the
insane rush of excited men followinsr the
return of the steamers Albion and Port
land that made Tommy's fortune.
Among the first-comers O'Shav found a
purchaser lor his claim, receiving, ac
cording to the letter, $40,0C0. This amount
he has laid by and is working for $10 a
day. He wili come out in the spring and
with h.s advent on the Sound it is said
that a fair damsel of Port Townsend will
become the wife oi a $40,000 husband from
ti.e wilds of Alaska.
A party of famous botanists, including
Professor Jobn Muir of Martinez. Cal.,
after whom the world's greatest glacier in

left here this niurmng on the Queen for
Alaska. The party will visit the Stickeen

years ago discovered a remarkable tree,

Passengers Protected.
SEATTLE, Wash., Auir, 23.— United
States Inspector of Hulls W. J. Bryant i%
determined that Alaskan bound vessels
must exercise every precaution necessary
to insure the safety and comfort of pas
sengers. He again exercised his author
ity to that end to-night. The schooner
Moonlight had fully expected to have
sailed la-t night for Skaguay, but delay in
receiving freight prevented it. Early this
evening she was all ready to leave port
with sixty patsengers and more than that
number of tons of freight, but another
and unlooked-for delay turned up.
Inspector Bryant appeared on the scene
ana decided that the schooner was over
loaded, both ns to passengers and freight.
He ordered the deck cleared of considera
ble lumber and further decided that the
number of passengers must be reducid.
As a consequence the Moonlight will not
depart until to-morrow, and in the mean
time there will be a readjustment of con
ditions. The tug Goiman will tow ncr
north, and will also carry four women
passengers. The Inspector also ordered
an improvement in the accommodations
for the women.
Mcra From This Port.
With the departure of the gasoline
schooner Bessie X it was thought that the
rush for tbe Klondike was about over un-
til next spring. Other vessels are being
constantly added to the list, however, and
if the rush continues there will soon be
not a disengaged vessel of the necessary
draft in port.
The steam schooner Navarro is an
nounced to sail to-morrow and will tow
ihe stern-wheeier Thomas Dwyeras far a»
St. Michael. At that point the passengers
and bacgace will be transferred and the
Dwyer will proceed up the Yukon alone.
There will be seventy- five passengeis by
the 2savarro, and as the Dwyer only draws
eighteen inches ol water the miners con
sider they will have no difficulty in reach
ing Dawson City before the river freezes
over.
Ihe steam schooner Noyo is to make
another trip to St. Michael, and she will
g6t away the latter part of the week. She
may tow up the gasoline schooner Chetco,
but the chances are the latter will go up
on her own account M. Mclntosn of Se
attle is at the head of the Chetco expedi
tion, and he expects to be a"b!e to take his
vessel up the river to the gokinelaa direct
from ibis port.
Tne topmast schooner La Ninfn is al
most ready for a start for Copper River.
As iho Indians are averse to any prospect
ing in the tr.butarie-s of the river, each
one of the fifty prospectors is going up to
the winter quarters armed to tbe teeth,
and if the Indians attempt to turn them
back there will be trouble. They will
carry supplies for fourteen months, and
will nl^o take along two s;eam launches
and two wbaleboat". They will make
their home during the winter on the La
Ninfa, and all expect to discover as rich a
held as Klondike.
Besides these boats the schooners Ber
wick and Laura D are being fitted out and
will get away next week.
CAPTAIN MERRY
STILL WAITING
The President's Object
in Delaying His
Departure.
Diplomatic Juggling Among
the Central American
Republics.
A State Department Official Says
There Is No Prospect for
Federation.
WASHINGTON, I). C, Au K . 2?,.-Al
thouigh the President telegraphed C.v.tain
Merry a week ago to remain in Washing
ion for instructions none have arrived
yet and the captain is naturally getting a
little impatient,, although he makes no
complaint, as he believes the delay is due
to the fact that the President'^ private
secretary, who is with nine, does not wish
to spoil his chief's vacation by burdening
him with public business.
It was intimated at the State Depar
i ment to-day that the President might
consider it advisable not to send a Minis
ter to Central America until it was seen
i whether or not the live Central American
Sta-es would ratify their agreements for a
confederation of all, to be Known as the
j 'Greater Republic of Central America."
i The delegates from the rive States will
' meet on September 15, which is an anni
| versary in celebration of liberation from
Spanish rule. It is not believed tnat the
treaty of confederation will be ratified.
Thi* belief amounts almost to certainty in
the minds of those who well understand
the conditions in Central America.
Secretary Sherman has already recom
mended to ttie President, inasmuch as the
so-called "Greater Republic of Central
America" had not been recognized— and
should not be— by the United States, that
Merry be sent as Minister to Costa Rica,
and that the United States Legation be
removed from Manaeua to Costa Rica,
until Central American affairs were
straightened out. It is altogether proba
ble that this will yet be done. Captain
Merry is naturally averse to discussing
the matter, as everything is in the Presi
dent's hands.
Nut content with simply declaring Cap
tain Merry persona non grata, which
would hay« ended the matter, the Diet in
timated that it considered him objection*
able, and in support of this made charges
affecting his character. A rigid investi
gation was conducted by the department,
witb the result that Captain Merry has
been completely vindicated. The State
Department officials are now anxious to
shame Nicaragua and Salvador, and
through them the Diet, by delaying Cap
tain Merry's presentation to those States
and simply ordering him to proceed to
Costa Rica, which has expressed a will
ingness to receive him.
Nicaragua has recently informed the
State Department that she will not stand
by the Diet's course, and will be willing
to accept the Minister appointed by the
President. This is one of the evidences of
friction In the Diet and presages to the
department officials' minds its dissolu
tion. It is sti'-'gested that the real reason
why Nicaragua has agreed to receive the
new Minister is because of her desire to
retain the American legation at Managua.
A State Department official was asked
to-ilay lor the facts relative to the aban
donment of the plan contemplating the
union ofjtho five Central American States.
He replied:
"As a matter of fact, when the several
States agreed to consider the plan they
were not sincere. A conference was held
some months ago in Costa Rica which
was attended by representatives from the
rive republics, and which was eal.ed os
tensibly for the purpose of considering
monetary reform in Central America. As
a matter of fact, me conference was held
for the purpose of drawing up a plan for
a Central American union. It was pro
posed that this plan should be .ratified on
Sep:ember 15.
"Ii lequ red each State to send two rep
r-'sen'aiive- to a congress to be held in
San Jose. The Presidents of the States
were to be known af er the adoption of
the scheme as Civets of State, and the
President of the union was to be one of
the chiefs, who should bold the office one
year and then transfer it to another chief.
The order of holding the Presidency was
arranged alphabetically and commenced
witn Costa Rica.
"After the plan was drawn up and
agreed upon by the rive Presidents, Presi
dent Barrios of Guatemala declared him
self Dictator, and there is therefore no
congress in Guatemala to ratify the plan.
Then Sanor Barrios was anxious that he
should be the firsc President, and he made
overtures to Costa Rica with a view to ob
taining the consent of the President of
that republic to his plan for personal
power.
"About this time Nicaragua began to
find out that the sbo^ pinched her foot.
Tue Diet holds its versions in Managua.
She reasoned that if the pan went through
the sessions of the proposed congress
would be held at Pan Jose. There'ore she
expressed a desire that the sessions should
bo held in Managua. In the meantime
Costa Rica was finding objections to the
scheme.
"The result of the discussion of the mat
ter is that there is no prospect of a union,
at least on the basis of the plan drawn up
a month or so ago. I would not be sur
prised any day to hear of the dissolution
of ihe 'Diet.' That boily was formed for
the purpose of keeping in power the men
now holding presidencies. When there
was a revolution in Honduras President
Zelaya of Nicaragua dispatched a body of
men to that republic to aid in tlia sup
pression of the insurrection and Honduras
returned the favor. President Zelaya has
gained for himself the ill will oi ihe prop
erty-owners in Nicaragua, in fact several
thousand of them are now in Costa R'ca
waiting a chance to return to their homes
and aid others who of ject to Zelaya's rule
in overthrowing that Government.
''Zalaya is aaid to fear that some day
a revolution will be successful and it is a
matter of gossip in Nicaragua, so I am in
formed, that ha has bouj?nt a house in
Europe and placed a half million in
European properties so that it will be
handy in case he should be deposed."
AFTER THE CON IF MAJORS.
Judge Dillon Considers Mrs. f-ngell
the Ignorant Dupe of Some
Designing Rascals.
NEW YORK. N. V., Aujr. 23.— Judge
John Dillon, counsel lor the Goulds in the
suit brought by Mrs. Angell to establish
her dower right in the Gould estate by
reason of her alleged marriage with Jay
Gould, will prosecute the conspirators
who induced Mrs. Angell to assist Iheir
plot Judge Dillon said to-night:
"Mrs. Angell's suit gave us much trou
ble, although it was a swindle from first
to last. The first thing to be proved about
the case was ihat Gould had never met
Mrs. Angeil. By means of a long nnd
wearisome examination of Gould's own
private correspondence we discovered that
h* had not been in the vicinity of Kouse's
Point during the fall of 1853, the time of
the alleged marriage.
"Mrs. Angell assigned half of her claim
to Mr?. Cody of Denver, and it is ostensi
bly Mrs. Cody who is prosecuting it. Mrs.
Cody is a rather mysterious character. I
have never seen her, but believe some one
is at the back of her, although the iden
tity of that some one is a mystery which
has not yet been unraveled.
"1 consider Mrs. Angell an ignorant
dupe of some designing rascals, who have
taken this means of extorting money from
the Gould family. Mrs. Cody and Mrs.
Angell would very likely prefer that their
proceedings against the Would family
should drop just where they are, but we
shall continue the case until we obtain n
record judgment that -vill prove to all the
world what an outrage this suit has been.
It Is more than likely that we shall begin
a criminal action against ome of the con
spirators and bring them before the Graid
Jury on a charge of blacimfti . Mrs.
Angell's imbecility muy be her protection,
but some of the principals in the plot may
receive the punishment they deserve.
"No, George Gould will never go to see
Mrs. Angell. The very idea that an hon
orable man would consider any proposi
tion that came from a traducer of his
father's memory is prep< s erous."

tor sent a summons to Sheriff Planz of
Louisville, directing him to serve notice
on Krebes. The Sheriff called at the office
designated by the Southern Pacific Com
pany in the Secretary of State's office, but
was told that Krebes had gone to Cnicago.
Krebesdid not leave his address or des
ignate any one upon which notice could
!be served. T:ie Boara of Valuation and
Assessment is much surprised at the ac
tion of the Southern Pacific Company,
and evidently believes the company is
preparing to abandon the charter, and at
any rate is taking desperate chances. It
is believed that krebes !e!t at the instance
of the Pacific Company to avoid summon?,
and unless the road re-establishes its office
it will forfeit its charter.
Auditor Stone, secretary of the Board of
Valuation and Assessment, said :
"We sent out the notices to Mr. Krebes,
and on receiving no response authorized
Sheriff Planz to serve the summons, Dut
he has been unable to locate Krebes. The
Southern Pacific Company is either pre
paring to incorporate in another State and
abandon the charter or they are playing a
very rtckless gime in failing to keep an
office in Louisville. The company must
know the plain provisions of the charter
require this. They Jurfher know that
there are other ways in which processes
may be had on them."
Attorneys Humphrey and Davie, for the
Southern Pacific Company, fled briefs in
the cases of the State aggregating $140,000
penalties for failing to report. Tne com
pany takes tie ground that they own no
property in this State and are not required
to report, and further, that they are not
liable for more than one year's penalty
on the ground of limitation.

HOW UCH LONGER
II do you propose to
dream? You ieei your-
self becoming -weaker
day by day. Do you
propose to do anything
about it or do you pro-
poEa to lie down and
die? You nave your
own future in your own
keeping, and do you
really mean to say that
it is pleasant to "know
that you are but half a
| man? If you htard
] some one say that about
y<u on tbe sidewalk
you would be annoyed,
but it's the truth. Why
not be a man? Are you
ashamed to ask help?
A few thoasand people
felt in just the way you
do. But each one of
them decided that it
was better to seek helo
if help could be had.
Do you want to know
who they were? A 2-
: cent siamp will bring
you a heap or circulars
and testimonials telling
yon all about "HUD-
YAN," the creat reme-
dio-treatniem. "HUD-
YAV nns cu-eil over

Do you imagine that
yourcese is the worst
the world has ever seen ?
Cease your fretting. It
• matters not as to
whether you have blood
taint, catarrhal trouble
or kidney disense, a per-
forated liver or a fit ol
nervous depression: All
alike are very promptly
helped by the doctors of
tbe Institute. But you
have pot to make the
first effort. Why not
make it TO-DAY? If
you want to continue to
be puny you certainly
can do so, but any hu-
man being, if he has
his faculties about him,
wants to
